Peter Brötzmann

Peter Brötzmann was a German jazz saxophonist and clarinetist regarded as a central and pioneering figure in European free jazz. He was one of the most prolific and enduring free jazz musicians to emerge from Europe during the 1960s. His fat, rough tone and emotively ferocious method of attack on saxophones, clarinet, and taragato, appeared on literally hundreds of recordings, from solo concerts to large ensemble studio dates and virtually every configuration in between
